I purchased a size 10 Mad Rock Flash for my first pair, and after using them for a day, the skin in the back of my feet are peeling off. I know that you should buy shoes a bit under size since they stretch out overtime, but is this common?

Also, try taking the shoes off between climbs.

I notice that a lot of climbers, especially those who wear down-turned shoes, have calluses/bumps on the back of their heels, where the show is pressing in.

Hmm, can't say what was written so I will guess. Did it look anything like this?

So....here goes. I'm not a climber but have been looking for a tight pair of shoes to have "relations" as they say, with sheep. Not ugly sheep either if that's what you were thinking hahahah. Anyway, I've noticed that the bumping and extreme motions of the act preclude having tight climbing shoes on. The Mad Rock shoes in particular dig into my Interphalangeals and really wrecks the mood and my ...errr, enjoyment. Anyone else have an issue with this and what do you do instead? It's making me quite mad.

2 words for the graduate. "Hip Boots". That is all.

Hope it helps in case I correctly guessed your original post. If not, I'm sure it will be of assistance to others although I won't be so crass as to name the many posters.
